Issue: If one departs from Muzdalifah to Mina before dawn, does one stone the Aqabah pillar upon arrival, even if it is before dawn, or does one wait until the sun rises?
One stones it upon arrival; because stoning the Aqabah pillar is like the greeting of the mosque with regard to Mina,For this reason, the scholars said: the greeting of Mina is stoning the Aqabah pillar,And the evidence for this is: the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned it while riding his camel before he set up his camp. Then, this is the wisdom behind the permission for them to move forward. What is the benefit of moving forward, then setting up their camps, and when the sun rises, they go? The wisdom is lost, or very little,Therefore we say: from the time they arrive at Mina, they stone the Aqabah pillar. This is the action of Asma bint Abi Bakr, and likewise Ibn Umar with his family; he would send them so that they would reach Mina either at dawn or around dawn, and they would stone it upon arrival.
